Oh, you mean “North of the River”?

Bakersfield only looks down on Oildale, which is a suburb of Bakersfield.

Modesto, Merced, Clovis, Lathrop, Tracy...

Same with my Ford Explorer, Mazda 3, Nissan Pathfinder, and my old Chevy Colorado. I believe it is all part of the arcane lighting laws in the US.

The above is a good start. If the company is really good about security there is an additional step. Once you swipe your card (or enter your CC number on a website) the card number only (no personally identifiable information) goes to a tokenization company. The tokenization company converts the CC# into... you…

Oh. It only seats 2 in the back. I need space for 3. I guess, for that reason alone, I will have to look elsewhere for my automotive purchase.

Aaahhh. The WAC. The conference of my childhood. They had some success in the 80's and 90's with Wyoming, Utah, BYU, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, UTEP, San Diego State, and Hawaii. Mostly a basketball conference but not too bad in football either. When they decided to compete with the “Big Boys” and expanded…

There is a full size Volvo XC-90 (at least there used to be) at the entrance to Lego Land just outside of San Diego. So, yes, this is where Volvo gets their styling.

That’s exactly how I feel every time I come around that corner and see the ugliness of Bakersfield spread out before me. Yuck.

It would have been a 2016. But that is still very disappointing that in 2016 they figured out BT for phone calls but not for streaming audio.

Pass on the LaCrosse. The bluetooth will allow handsfree calling but it won’t stream music. On the plus side, I didn’t have to explain BT music streaming to my mother (the 70 year old target market for the LaCrosse).

Mmmmmmmm. I love the M-Parallel wheels.

I loved that guy in Independence Day.

Things like this were my favorite part of living in Tucson. If you tried to drive through a wash and got stuck they would actually issue you a stupid motorist ticket and your beautiful face would be featured on the nightly news. Good times.

Bison not buffalo and screw you Eastern US.

It makes more sense then the best cheeseburger in town being available at a carwash.

Everything except the fish and chips. Best fish and chips ever at the bowling alley in Bakersfield.

I lived in Bakersfield and the water there definitely does cause cancer.

Implementation, brakes, transmission, power sliding doors, brakes, power rear hatch, brakes...

I agree with the answer of “minivan” but that thing in your picture is not a minivan. It is a steaming pile of crap that tried to vacuum every single nickle out of my wallet. It was every bit as expensive as the Japanese competition but was even less reliable then the Dodges. I hated that vehicle was never happier to…
